Search warrant nets 100 marijuana plants, guns in Ahwatukee

PHOENIX — More than 100 marijuana plants and several firearms were found inside an Ahwatukee home on Tuesday, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said in a release.

When police entered the home at 16830 S. Yellow Court, they found evidence of a significant growing operation.

One of the firearms found was an AK-47. Several handguns were also found.

The find stemmed from a search warrant that was issued Monday after a traffic stop. A police canine unit found seven pounds of marijuana inside a vehicle. The driver, 24-year-old Johnny Lee, was arrested.
